they do not believe it exists and they do not believe it exists because
they cannot believe or see beyond their own conceptions of God.

As we continue to make a secular assessment and take a non-religious
approach to address terrorism, we foment it. Today’s most significant

religion of Islam, Islamic fundamentalist-sourced terrorism will begin
to be dried up. Gandhi and King, I believe, would have articulated this.
